Animal rights activist slam Khloe K for taking photos with animals

Khloe Kardashian has supposedly upset a group of animal rights activist with her Dubai selfies with various animals which she posted to her Instagram account including one of her feeding a giraffe, cuddling an orangutan, and 'kissing' a stingray she appears to have become very close with.

'We're disappointed to see yet another celebrity posing with a wild animal,' Silia Smith of World Animal Protection said. 'Tiger cubs belong in the wild, with their mothers – not in captivity for use as entertainment or photo props.'

'While interacting with wild tigers may seem harmless, people posing with wildlife don't realize that a "once in a lifetime" photo for them means a lifetime of misery for the animal. To be used for entertainment, wild tigers are cruelly poached from the wild as babies or bred in captivity,' Smith added.

While Orangutans are also an endangered species, it was Khloe's shot of the animal that had activists most upset.
